Get up, get back on your feet [OPEN]

[craaazyisland]

The Bleed looked a lot the same whether you were looking at it upside down or right side up. Good to know.

Steve was sitting on one of the chairs in the obs deck... slouching, really, a typical teenage slouch, his head tilted off to the side and his hair hanging in his face as he stared out the window. He was fighting off the end of one of his dizzy spells, the ones that always hit about an hour after his weekly treatments in medbay. He looked a little more pale than usual, and a close inspection would notice the greenish veins trailing up his left arm towards his tattoo, but the spell was finally passing and he'd be back on his feet in a little bit.

He already knew from past experience that there was little point in trying to exert himself until it was over... otherwise they might find him unconscious in the middle of the mess hall again. That had stirred up a few conspiracies about what was really in the food, and was really more trouble than it was worth. He didn't want to freak out Kaylee, either, particularly when she'd been so nice in helping get him situated in the Engineering department.

Yes... for once, Steve didn't have a whole lot to be cynical about.

Hell, it might even be safe to make some small talk with him.

"So you said," he replied, trying his best to be polite, despite the fact every single WEIRD sensor in his brain was going off all at once.

"I'm Steve. And I'm fine, I guess."

Rarity gave him a smile. "Pleasure to meet you, Steve. I currently work at Stormwind Clothiers, what about you?"

"I don't really have a job, actually... I just have been apprenticing in Engineering every so often," he said with a shrug. "Keeps me busy, I guess."

"Alright then." Rarity eyed him carefully, sighing at the plantsuit. "I really should come up with a better suit for everyone."

"They'd probably build a statue of you if you did," Steve muttered. "Some of the people who've been here a long time have bought their own clothes on planets, but we all still have a plantsuit on too. It sucks."

"That's why I will attempt to design a new suit for the crew. Everyone deserves to have a decent outfit." Rarity said and felt a little unsettled by his general unfriendly tone. "There's the space prom coming up. Good chance to have fun and mingle around."
